A 67-year-old listener who appeared on Prof. Rafi Carso 's show on 103FM shared that he suffers from dupitren's contracture – a lymphatic thickening of the palmar sheath that wraps around the tendons of the palm and fingers. The disease causes permanent contraction of the fingers and inability to straighten them. The listener asked to know if there is a situation that the contraction will stop, what is the rate of development and what can prevent its appearance.

"The bit of development is very individual," replied the professor. "There are injections of substances that can be injected into the place that can sometimes help, these are injections that palm specialists are familiar with. This contraction is created like an internal scar that pulls the surrounding tissues to it."
